I hadn't even thought about it as I have never been a target shooter (except of course 40 years ago on various army ranges). Could be a fun day out just to meet and hang around with some of you guys though so if you don't mind someone tagging along for a look see then I could come for a day out. Are you going further up South Head or are you just going to rendezvous at Parakai and then head out toward Muriwai way?

Were on wilson road as a final destination. It is a great day in generally a real cross section of shooters that have and have not mastered to some degree the mid range to longer range shooting . Thae one that havent go home very enthusiastic after these shoots. Please note rushy the farmer does charge all that enter 20 per day , i hope to see you!
